What are some of the major issues that transgender employees face in the workplace?
There are about a dozen issues, some of which are ensuring that non-discrimination and non-harassment policies include gender identity and expression, co-workers are given appropriate guidance in how to respect other employees' gender identity, health benefits for transgender employees are appropriately and clearly defined, and facilities usage policies suited to the workplace environment accord transgender employees proper respect for their gender identity.
